We arrived at the port of Akaroa this morning (about two hour's drive from Christchurch). It's a beautiful sunny day. This was a volcano in ancient times and when part of it broke, it allowed the sea in, so it's a lovely sheltered harbour. We had breakfast with two former nurses, Pauline and Margaret. Terry went off to do a catamaran cruise. I went to the Dome to read and returned to cabin for a while, then went to lunch. Sat at a table with a number of people, only name I can remember is Maureen. Terry returned from his cruise saying he enjoyed it very much. He saw small dolphins (smallest in the world – only 1 metre) and also small penguins. The seals were a no show today. We had a nap and went to the Dome and listened to the trivia competition. I had another Toblerone cocktail – probably not good for me, but I enjoyed it. We had dinner on our own again and I wondered whether we'd been deliberately isolated. Terry enquired, but there was a misunderstanding about the booking, so they weren't trying to isolate us. We then went to a show, a cabaret singer, who wasn't impressive, so we left early and went to bed.
